Sweden: Number of breweries increasing almost every month

The number of craft brewing in Sweden is increasing almost every month, Sverigesradio.se reported earlier this week.

Currently, there are almost 80 breweries in the country, which sell their production through restaurants or through Systembolaget, the government owned chain of liquor stores in Sweden.

Last year domestic beer sales totalled 3.88 mln hl, it is reported. Swedes prefer domestic brands to import ones, numerous polls have shown.
